Galva

The Galva Arts Council is bringing back its popular Chicago culture trip with a charter bus trip on March 23. The daytrip will include shopping and a visit to the Chicago Art Institute, plus the Tony Award winning Best Broadway Musical of the Year “The Book of Mormon.”

The hit musical is Broadway’s phenomenon from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez.

The charter bus will leave from Galva’s municipal parking lot at 6:30 a.m. and also pick up riders at the Best Western Annawan Inn at Route 78 and Interstate 80, then stop for a quick breakfast.

Upon arriving in Chicago, participants will be able to shop the “Magnificent Mile” or visit the Chicago Art Institute until the bus transports them to the musical.

On the way home, a stop will be made at a fast food restaurant before arriving in

Galva around 8:30 p.m.

It is important to sign up early. Since the show is so popular, the arts council will not be able to hold the tickets without being sold. Thursday (Nov. 1) is the last day adult reservations will be taken.

Full payment of $98 required.

High school students can sign up and make deposit with Galva High School art teacher Beth Russell.
